Kiss Products Voguish Fantasy Press On Nails — Christmas Party Ready Nails

•contains pr/gifted items

Good morning lovelies & happy Tuesday!

Kiss once again spoiled me, & recently sent me a box of Christmas cheer in the shape of their Press On Nails & False lashes! The perfect thing to help me get Holiday ready quickly.

Sunday night I had a get-together with my former Candy Store coworkers, so I thought a set of nails would be perfect for the occasion — & who can say no to candy cane inspired nails!

These nails were fairly easy to apply. The trick is to make sure you pick out the size/style you need for each nail prior to starting your application, & laying them out in order. Then, start from your pinky nails & work your way to your thumb. I find this especially important to do when you’re doing nails with any significant length — like these ones!

Now for these nails I was only planing on wearing them for the night, so instead of using the included glue, I chose to use sticky tabs to apply them which I find a better option for shorter term wear. Each pack does come with the Kiss Nail Glue, which from my previous experience does last really well & holds up against every day use.

What do you think about these Kiss Voguish Fantasy nails? Would you rock press on nails like this for a super quick & easy party look? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below!

Cute Candy Cane Nails (featuring Butter London Winter 2025 shades) ❄️

Contains PR

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a very, very snowy Monday here… & I won’t lie, it’s kind of nice. Giving me a few Christmas vibes, I won’t lie.

So naturally that means let’s share some more holiday inspired nails. & I couldn’t not use my two new Butter London shades I featured yesterday — with the help of another Butter London shades in my stash.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Cure
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Butter London Frozen Loch *pr
  • Butter London Branwen’s Pearls *pr
  • Butter London Saucy Jack
  • NailStuff.ca 4mm Micro Detail Brush

I just love a dainty candy cane look, & this one turned out just how I imagined it in my head. The pearlescent finish of Branwen’s Pearls was the perfect base for my tiny little candy canes, & the blue base of Frozen Loch helped them pop on the nail!

I got so many compliments on these at work, which always makes me happy! It always makes my day when someone else notices — & loves — a design I’ve created.

So what do we think of these cutie candy cane nails? Do you think they’re fun & dainty? I’m really trying to come up with some fun holiday nail art looks — maybe even some I’ve never tried before — to end off this year with a bang, so please let me know what nail art designs you’d like to see!

Enjoy your Monday

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Candy Cane

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday.

Another late in the day post, but in my defence I went to bed with a massive headache… & woke up with a migraine. So I wasn’t keen on screens or trying to finish up this post. It’s prompt number 4 of Glam Nails Challenge & this one is Candy Cane. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t copying my candy cane nails from earlier this season, & I think this look turned out super cute!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • NailStuff Essentials White Dove *
  • Nailstuff Essentials Cardinal *
  • Essie Cosmic Chrome *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • Largest size from NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

*PR/Gifted

I knew I wanted to do a green base, & I knew I wanted to add some candy cane accents, but I thought it would be cute to add a whole candy cane on my thumbs as an accent.

Also, adding a coat of Essie Cosmic Chrome over the stripes gave it such a cool finish, it really did remind me of a real candy cane! If I’d had any on hand, I would have posed with one, but I hope the little sprinkling of snow we got yesterday is an equally seasonal backdrop.

What do you think about my candy cane nails? What is your favourite flavour of candy cane? While I do appreciate the OG peppermint, I tried the maple syrup flavour in the Brach’s Elf candy cane collection & they were so freaking good! I wish I had a way to go a whole (Costco sized) box of just maple!
